Aside from a $17.5 billion loan from the IMF, the bailout envisages $15.3 billion to be raised by restructuring debt.
Ukraine has set itself a June deadline to have a restructuring deal in place but this could prove tricky if investors indeed balk at accepting a writedown, a danger the IMF had highlighted in a report a day after it released the loan.
Franklin Templeton holds around $6.5 billion of Ukraine's bonds or well over a third of Ukraine's Eurobonds, while PIMCO, Blackrock, Fidelity and Stone Harbor are also among bondholders. Significantly, Russia holds another $3 billion worth of the bonds and has already said it will not restructure.
Ukraine, like Greece a few years ago, is being represented at its debt talks by Lazard, and has also hired White & Case to act for it. Yaresko is due to travel to Europe and the United States in coming weeks to hold talks with bondholders
